Welcome from the Director

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Public & Community Health Programs at the University of Oklahoma. At the University of Oklahoma, we equip our students with the knowledge of the theoretical foundations of public and community health as well as empower them to become agents of change for their communities. Our program is multi-disciplinary and has faculty who bring decades of experience working in the fields of epidemiology, biostatistics, health administration, health promotion, and environmental health.

Whether you are a prospective student exploring the program, a current student navigating your academic path, or a visitor interested in our programs, I encourage you to explore the resources available on our website and don’t hesitate to contact any of the faculty or myself.
